Norcross combines a walkable railroad-era center with the scale of metropolitan Atlanta in a way that reflects its position in Georgia's Piedmont. Located in Gwinnett County, it grew around the railroad and was incorporated in 1870; its name honors Jonathan Norcross, a former mayor of Atlanta. The Norcross Historic District preserves streets lined with commercial buildings and houses from the town's early development, giving the compact center a distinct identity within the broader suburban area. The wooded, rolling terrain of the Georgia Piedmont provides its landscape setting. Browse nearby webcams to discover more corners of Norcross and the Atlanta metropolitan area.
